I try not to stereotype based on looks, there's a lot of toxicity that goes around because Disney movies taught us that ugly people are evil and it's better to avoid it.
But Eric Orwoll looks like he'd try to establish a white ethnostate in the Arkansas mountains.

Between the concentration camps, the blind support for genocide, the widening of the wealth gap, the SCOTUS decisions, the ruining of indigenous sovereignty, land, and water. If there is not a Nurem-Trump trial it won't even take 80 years for the next one.

I think I'm starting to have an issue with Jeffrey Epstein being called a sex offender. That is too broad, and encapsulates too many things. I would like to request the media refer to him exclusively as "career child rapist".

Sanctuary policies provide that local jails will not *voluntarily* hand people over to ICE. The response local governments always gave was "ICE can always get a warrant."
So now, when ICE identifies a person who could be criminally charged for illegal reentry — they get a warrant.

L.A. County sheriff says there's 'no choice' but to honor ICE warrants for jail inmates
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said Thursday that the law requires inmates be turned over to ICE when a federal judge issues a warrant, but the department also continues to follow 'sanctuary' policies and does not cooperate on civil immigration enforcement.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

University of Pennsylvania goes all in on anti-trans BS under pressure from the White House. This will go way beyond just sports.
BREAKING
The University of Pennsylvania has come to an agreement with the Trump administration on what the Department of Education said was its Title IX violations.
This will include stripping trans athlete Lia Thomas of her records, titles, and recognitions.

Pause for a moment to process this; ICE is arresting literally 1,100% more immigrants with no criminal records than in his first term.
New data show that ICE is pulling record numbers of people off the streets who have no criminal convictions of any kind. This is not just a change from the Biden admin. This is a radical tactical shift compared to Trump 1.0. These arrests are up over 1,000% from 2017.
